Vitamin D3 helps reduce the risk of common malignant tumors such as breast cancer, lung cancer, and colorectal cancer. It also plays a role in the prevention and treatment of autoimmune diseases, hypertension, and infectious diseases. Additionally, it promotes the deposition of calcium and phosphorus in bones, thereby preventing the occurrence of rickets. The human body can naturally synthesize vitamin D3; when exposed to sunlight, a type of cholesterol in the skin is converted into vitamin D3.
